Hi, I've noticed darkened paint around corners around my central heating boiler which is in the kitchen. This is fairly recent as it didn't look like this a couple months ago, when it was repaired and...
Hi, Last week, Tuesday 14th, my combination boiler packed up. It displayed an error code and flashed red and now is completely dead and won't even turn on. I rent the property via a letting agent and...
Having recently obtained a quote for car insurance it's a nice surprise to see that as a male of 26 years my premium has come down quite significantly. That may be because of other factors, but I've a...
About a month ago I drove a friend back to his house and used the motorway. Roughly 10 mile journey each way. On the way back I noticed when the car was moving slowly on normal roads, or at a stop,...
Have lived in a 2 bed flat since 2009 in a re-purposed building containing 5 other flats as part of it's 'new build'. Mine is the largest of the flats and, I believe, the one which is most costly to...
Recently had the plastic backing plate from my passenger side mirror break. Since it's the backing plate and not the glass I can't get a replacement from Halfords and Nissan want £37.50 which...
I'm looking at a lease deal offered by my employer for a new car that will be paid for via salary sacrifice. The deal includes free insurance, road tax, servicing and repairs. Since the vehicle will...
Having rented my flat for over 3 years now, one of the 4 low voltage downlights in the kitchen went the other day. I hate replacing them because of the stupid pinch retaining rings. I went shopping...
For the past couple years I have been with Coverbox for my car insurance. For a number of reasons have changed that this year. I contacted them advising that I do not wish to renew the policy once it...
The time for me to renew my car insurance is fast approaching and I always like to be prepared having sought alternative quotes before receiving the renewal letter from my current insurance. At...
I've been using the PC I built myself since May and I've only really just noticed that on each boot, once the standard CMOS checks are out of the way, "checking NVRAM" appears for a few...
Is it me, or has the price of traditional mechanical hard drives shot up recently? As an example April 2010 I purchased a Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB SATA3 HDD with 64MB cache for...
When running a 32-Bit application on a 64-Bit OS is the application still limited in the amount of memory it is able to address? E.g is a 32-Bit game able to make use of or benefit from more than 4GB...
Ok, so I have a wart up my nose. My right nostril to be precise. I can't tell really, but I would say it is rooted about 6-7mm + up my nose. I visited my GP about it who told me because of how far up...
Where I work we have the ability to track most mobile phone origin points to within a given area. I assume that this process uses signal triangulation in order to show a general area. Sometimes it...

I have noticed that the dial for the cabin blower doesn't work when it's on the second of four settings (the one it's on the most). All the other fan speed settings work. I have a Haynes manual but...
I have now completed my PC upgrade and have installed a brand new AMD X6 1100T CPU. I didn't have many problems gutting the system and replacing the internals, with the exception of a few oversights....
I'm looking to upgrade my ageing system but I've decided I want to do it myself, buy the parts and install them. I can open my PC and I've installed GPUs, RAM, HDDs and optical drives. However, I've...
I'm looking to take the plunge and upgrade my PC with an SSD drive. I plan to do a clean Windows 7 install onto it and will only use it for system files and commonly used programs. To be safe, I'm...
